Sigh. For the millionth time, Brunson did not take a paycut. His options were
a) sign your max extension or
b) play out the last yr of your contract. Hope u dont get hurt. Hope you have a better season than last and THEN hopefully sign a much bigger max (none of this was guaranteed)
Thats not "taking a paycut" thats SECURING THE BAG NOW and its smart business cuz u never know what can happen
Kawhi on the other hand, was a free agent and did not sign for his max. He took a paycut and signed for less.
Accountability for the wealthiest people on Earth is hard to come by.
Thank you for believing in the power of independent journalism to accomplish it.
(And, yes, more to come.)

Jalen Brunson on people calling him the King of New York:
“I’ve never called myself the King of New York. I will never call myself the King of New York, but I feel like it’s I don’t know. I just for me to call myself that, I feel like that’s obviously it’s eh and to say things like that like just, imagine I get on this call with you, right? I’m like, “Yo, you know, King of New York’s here. Whatever, whatever. You guys are going to look like, “What the fu*k this dude is so self-centered.” Like, no. I just find a way to kind of be the same because of the people around me. Like, I have the same people I’ve had around since high school and my closest friends from college. Like, it’s always been close-knit and I kept it that way and they keep me humble. But it’s a true, true credit to my parents.”
